So far, Seville has a number of attractions as a location for LGM. I
like the organic feel of the Option A sites. The main issues are getting
a feeling for how the formal lectures will interact with the workshops
and BOF meetings. Also, wireless internet connectivity is absolutely
essential, especially in the more public spaces where people tend to
collect and do some work outside of meetings. Ethernet tends not to be
very practical.

I would think that there would be some experiences that these locations
have had with technology-related meetings and get togethers, so they
should be able to give some good feedback about making this work.
